The source that Engadget linked is now reporting that this is a 3rd Party (aka custom) firmware!
This is not what 6.5 will look like apparently.

Thank you,

They're talking about the virtual keyboard, not the firmware or shell. Apart from the keyboard, and barring any major changes, this *is* how Windows Mobile 6.5 will look.]]>Feb 12th 2009 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/Feb 12th 2009 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/

Where as apple has a nice UI, if you want a quick and easy way to get info about your email/sms/mms/ect notifications you cant beat the home screen.

It just shows that they are going after different markets in a way, apple are all for non power user, who gets a smart phone because its cool or something, not saying that the hardware and OS isnt able to for fill both roles of cause.

Where as WM is more pointed at the enterprise/business world where it matters more to be able to quickly see all the important information, this has been at the expense of prettiness so far, so its nice to see them fixing that a bit.]]>Feb 12th 2009 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/
Well, functionality is another topic altogether. I was just commenting on the ugly interface, that's all. And it IS ugly, as a few other people have pointed out. I guess they're all trolling too.

Yeah, people have different tastes, just like people have different opinions. And my opinion is: this interface is ugly. There's no reason to get upset about it.

My mother likes reality television, doesn't make it any less dumber.

We get it. You really like Apple products and services. You like them to the point where you are comfortable making a corporate shill jackass out of your self multiple times in order to prove your love and loyalty to Apple.

People see you as an idiot, troll, and otherwise as a total moron.

As you can tell 99.9% of the Apple users here, some of which may be fanboys, do not subscribe to your level of fanaticism to even post agreement with your absurd views.


So take a hint. If you dont like non Apple stuff, and you feel a need to go overboard in airing those views, just close the browser and go take a walk until you find something else to do.]]>Feb 12th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/Feb 12th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/

It looks decent when its moving around.

The Pre looks good all the time, however.

Considering the power of WM, I would gladly give up some flash for the functionality it offers.

I can install absolutely anything i want, whenever i want, with no ones approval but my own. That assures ill stay on WM. That and, it is so easy to skin it so i dont have to use what Microsoft gives you.]]>Feb 12th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/

I just hope its faster. That is really all that is important. How they make it look is all cosmetic. You can already customize windows anyway you choose. So if it's performance is tweaked and made better, then that is good. Otherwise this is all just colorful and pretty to look at; just attract some mac people.]]>Feb 12th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/Feb 12th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/12/first-decent-windows-mobile-6-5-screenshots-leak-out/
Its a bit slow, but the driver issues are being worked on.

If you look at this and laugh, then you don't understand how nice it is to use.

The whole OS has very good, fast, and smooth finger scrolling now, more efficient and nicer looking scrollbars, and the Titanium home screen is pretty dam functional.

WM is a VERY flexible, and customisable OS, its good that is is finally getting a pretty base.

I have only tried it on a old slow arm core with almost no ram, it will fly on a good arm9/11 core with a power VR chip, or snapdragon.

WM is a OS that you use if you want to get something done, or if you want to make it look however you want.

And you know what, if you don't like this new look, you can turn it all off, and use 3rd party apps to change everything to how you want it.

If you don't like wm, head over to:
